But, however many ways there may be of being alive, it is certain that there are vastly more ways of being dead, or rather not alive  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) We should learn to understand natural selection, so that we can oppose any tendency to apply it to human politics  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) Faith is one of the world’s great evils, comparable to the smallpox virus but harder to eradicate  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) Let’s get up off our knees, stop cringing before bogeymen and virtual fathers, face reality, and help science to do something constructive about human suffering  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) Like computer viruses, successful mind viruses will tend to be hard for their victims to detect. If you are the victim of one, the chances are that you won’t know it, and may even vigorously deny it  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) You cannot be both sane and well educated and disbelieve in evolution. The evidence is so strong that any sane, educated person has got to believe in evolution  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) ... it is a telling fact that, the world over, the vast majority of children follow the religion of their parents rather than any of the other available religions  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) Our brains are separate and independent enough from our genes to rebel against them.. we do so in a small way everytime we use contraception. There is no reason why we should not rebel in a large way too  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) The history of science has been one long series of violent brainstorms, as successive generations have come to terms with increasing levels of queerness in the universe  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) Our brains have evolved to help us survive within the orders of magnitude of size and speed which our bodies operate at. We never evolved to navigate in the world of atoms  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) Evolution is just a theory? Well, so is gravity and I don’t see you jumping out of buildings  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) Biology is the study of complicated things that give the appearance of having been designed for a purpose  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) The feature of living matter that most demands explanation is that it is almost unimaginably complicated in directions that convey a powerful illusion of deliberate design  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) I am utterly fed up with the respect we have been brainwashed into bestowing upon religion  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) Who will say with confidence that sexual abuse is more permanently damaging to children than threatening them with the eternal and unquenchable fires of hell?  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) The human psyche has two great sicknesses: the urge to carry vendetta across generations, and the tendency to fasten group labels on people rather than see them as individuals  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) Faith is belief without evidence and reason; coincidentally that’s also the definition of delusion  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) It is an essential part of the scientific enterprise to admit ignorance, even to exult in ignorance as a challenge to future conquests  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) Evolution has been observed. It’s just that it hasn’t been observed while it’s happening  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) In a way, I think religion is to be admired for asking the right questions. I just think it’s got the wrong answers  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) No doubt soaring cathedrals, stirring music, moving stories and parables, help a bit. But by far the most important variable determining your religion is the accident of birth  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) If you don’t know anything about computers, just remember that they are machines that do exactly what you tell them but often surprise you in the result  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) Cloning may be good and it may be bad. Probably it’s a bit of both. The question must not be greeted with reflex hysteria but decided quietly, soberly and on its own merits. We need less emotion and more thought  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) No matter how much knowledge and wisdom you acquire during your life, not one jot will be passed on to your children by genetic means. Each new generation starts from scratch  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) There is an attitude in the culture that says that everybody is entitled to their opinion. You got to respect their opinion. No, you damn well haven’t got to respect their opinion  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) The cynic about human nature might say that religious morality is an effective way of keeping people in line. The threat of hell, the reward of heaven, but the rules of the holy books are out of date and often barbaric  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) Two religions cannot both be right, because they contradict each other, yet they can both be wrong  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) Many people want to send their children to faith schools because they get good exam results, but they’re not foolish enough to believe that it’s because of faith that they get good exam results  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) My passion is for scientific truth. I don’t much care about good and evil... I care about what’s true  (Richard Dawkins Quotes) Bereavement is terrible, of course. And when somebody you love dies, it’s a time for reflection, a time for memory, a time for regret  (Richard Dawkins Quotes)
